Shes not accountable for anything she writes.
Furthermore, she knows absolutely nothing about football,
how she gets a gig is beyond me - but we all know someone I guess.
Watching her on Footy Classifies is just a joke.
Whoever employs Caro has about as much idea as she has.
Hopefully soon we get a female journo who is in it for the love of the game - and not her ego.
She was writing negative articles about Richmond all the time a few years ago. Eased up a bit since 2011.
What a pathetic remark
l used to like her but she just turned into a muckraker, only writes negative things, nothing positive unless its about Richmond,I think Caro is a very good journalist in some ways, but it's unfortunate she seems to be such a hateful writer in general. She only ever focuses on negative aspects of football, and seems to love kicking clubs when they're down (re: North). She's obviously a very intelligent lady, but I really just despise reading her work because of how unbelievably bitter and venomous it usually is.
At least Caro is the only journalist to ask Vlad the hard questions Pressers.
The reason the flogs don't recall them is because Richmond have improved their affairs out of sight, and said flogs like the OP, have the memory of a boobtube wearing goldfish!
Who has ever been held accountable on the footy show? That show is not the place for any self respecting journalist. Particularly with Sam there. Remember the dummy incident?Caro sits back and snipes Brayshaw on footy classified, then gets her a** handed to her by JB,
continues her crusade - yet then declines to go on the footy show where she'll be made accountable.
The classic was Buckley's response to the Dane Swan story. Instead of denying it he said 'why didn't you call me?'
Right - so Richmond have improved and that's why Caro doesn't write about them anymore? Wish the same philosophy applied to North! We may not have 50k membership etc but we have come along way since 2007 and she still attacks JB and the football club on a consistent basis. She just makes it up as she goes along.
/end rant
/leave thread before the Caro's North hating brigade arrives
I'd be over the moon if one entire thread about Caroline Wilson could be free of misogynist comments.
And for those of you giving her credit for the Tippett stuff, please. EQ did most of the lifting and had the first 2 or 3 articles on it anywhere in the country, then Caro seized the story.
Caro was the first journalist to report on the "Tippett for a 2nd rounder" clause, back in 2011..
I'm not saying she hasn't written a fair bit of s**t in her time - she has, absolutely, 'chicken gate' was one - but I still think she makes a lot of valid points that no-one else wants to.I'm just not that interested in negative, tabloid type articles.
Do we get bland, re-jigged press releases due to Caro types jumping all over anyone who speaks their mind or says something other than the norm?
...
IMO, because journo's are waiting for their next big article where they can preach a set of morals that they attach themselves to for the sake of getting to print.
Go back to the "chicken gate" scandal, I thought the video was quite funny, but no, the media blew it up to get the headlines.
Clearly people read and enjoy her work, whereas I actively avoid it.
Sponsors.Why are their very few characters left in sport and none left in the AFL?
Emma Quayle is far and away the best journo in footy. Used to be Martin Flanagan.
